Milk plus Rant
Oct. 7th, 2021 02:47 pmWell, that's been hard.
Not all bad but hard.
Project needs amending. Some bits break well and patch well, some...
Some issues are not so easy to fix. Not unfixable but still.
And because I don't talk about work, that will do for that.
Bro is upset because one of his projects has failed and people will lose their jobs. He blames himself. I am sure it's not all his fault but trust him when he says he could have done more. I haven't mentioned our mortified relative to him as he'll only curl up tighter into a foetal ball. He told me he loves me, proof positive that he's in a state of considerable emotional turmoil.
There's never a good time to lose one's job, but right now is special.
Even writing about the enormous humbuggery of the Tory conference is exasperating. It suddenly occurred to me that many of these braying idiots haven't just discovered their inner arse-bandit this second. Many believe him and many more want to believe him. They also believe in the power of thinking positively, the retrospective finding of reasons for it all making good sense in time. Here's all that will happen: Things eventually tend to reverse. It's utter rubbish right now for millions of Brits. For some at some point it will improve, Q these idiot tories claiming it was their plan all along!
The one that made me cuss the most is this guy:

I mean. What in the actual - no, that won't do. Time for a proper potty mouthed cuss, behind the cut.

It's this awful nostalgia for a pre-40s, indeed, pre-20s fantasy era, a time which in reality was a miserable impoverished nightmare for most people, that's our curse. I will say though, that if it comes to pass beyond dribbling rhetoric, it'll cure itself sharpish. Off screen and away from social media, you can't hear a peep from tory voters on these subjects. Even the stupid ones are quiet.
